Log;

Waking up in an unknown city was usually the sign of a good night, however, this time, Jack knows it's not a good sign, especially when his night hadn't been anything special enough to land him in a place he didn't know.

He looked around, trying to see if he recognized anything, but nothing stood out. Except for the carousel and fountain and not because they were familiar, but because, honestly, who kept carousels in town anymore, unless you were in a mall?

Jack pressed the blue-tooth set at his ear and checked his vortex manipulator for readings of the area.

"Gwen, Ianto, are you there?"

Of course, no response, that'd be too easy.

"Where the Hell am I?"

"The range? Anywhere from across town to across space. When it's fully functioning, that is."

Jack considered his answer carefully.

"Well, he disabled it because he didn't want me teleporting around time and space; he's under the impression I cause too much trouble. As for fixing it, unfortunately, I don't know. It burned out once and stayed that way for 200 years, then that same friend fixed it and later disabled it again."

He was kind of hoping Eagle wouldn't notice that '200 year' slip. Jack hadn't meant to bring up his immortality, well, at all, if he could help it. How do you explain something like being a fact in space and time to a complete stranger?

As some one who also ‘causes too much trouble’ that wasn’t necessarily a warning flag. It was considered and filed away for a later date. Besides, he didn’t even know who this friend was. Maybe they were an over protective sort.
Unfortunately for Jack… the date slips were immediately seized on. Eagle was a bit too observant to miss something quite that openly stated. There had been two very interesting comments in those sentences. That the device Jack had could travel through space and time?? Time travel? It was theoretically possible but, could that really happen?
And of course the 200 year gap. Did that mean the device itself was 200 years old… or that also Jack was? Since Eagle knew at least one person far older than that, if Jack really was 200 years old it didn’t seem so unusual. Maybe he was like the people from Cephiro, able to control how old they looked just by the power of his will. At least the possibility of immortality never crossed his mind.

“That device has been with you for 200 years? And when it is working it can travel through time?” A pause to look down at the device in question. “There should be some way to fix it.”

Questions lead to more questions for the curious natured and Eagle realizes he must have been asking a lot of them.

“I’m sorry I am bombarding you with questions. You must have a lot of your own. Don‘t let my inquisitiveness prevent you from asking.”


[OOC: I sense a potential plot here. ^,^]

"Yes and yes, although it's a bit rough when you travel. As for fixing it, I'm sure there is, If I could find someone who's good with advanced tech, someone like my friend, I think it can be repaired; It's only been disabled, not broken after all."

Jack thought for a moment, considering what he could ask next, his main question, the one he was most concerned with, had already been answered.

"I guess the only question I really have left is what do you do when you're not trying to escape the city?"

_{[ooc: I think you're right, definite future stuff here.]}

“With technology that advanced it might be difficult…” Not impossible though, so at least there was a chance.

Eagle had been expecting some typical City question not one directed at him personally. But, Jack had been good enough to answer every question posed to him, so Eagle didn’t really mind answering.

“That depends on the day,” It wasn’t much of an answer but one never really knew what they would be doing from one day to the next here. “Lately, fighting monsters…”

"Maybe...but if this place pulls people from all around, there's bound to be somebody who can at least set us on the right track."

Jack almost perked up at this; finally something he felt more in his element about.

"Fighting monsters? That I can do."

“There is a possibility information about it might be in the library… or at least from copies of the books that used to be in the library.”

Unfortunately Eagle hasn’t met anyone like that… at least not that he can think of.

“The harpies as they were called have been for the most part defeated, but this City is still acting strangely. You should be very careful.”

Some how Eagle didn’t have any trouble imagining that Jack would be able to look after himself. He seemed fully capable of doing just that.

Hmm...Well, we can always check there, it's worth a shot."

It was better than doing nothing at least.

"I have a feeling there's a lot about this city that's strange, I'll keep my guard up."
